I have an idea for something that could get alot of us involved in some healthy, fun and light hearted competion...

This is just an idea but I thought that if I posted here and asked for an expression of interest that it might be something cool to do.

Ok enough dribble - Im proposing a yearly awards event that EVERYONE can enter with categories and unbias independant judges (ourselves) to vote on the best car in the ACT (and surrounding areas) in each category...

For example - If you wanted to enter your car in the "best allround R33 Gtst" category, all you would have to do is post which category you wish to enter and at least 2 pics (6 max) of your car aswell as a list of mods, performance figures (no estimations, only true tested figures) and a small rant about why you love your car (you may enter more than one category).

Then, everyone here would get the chance to vote (only once) on each car in each category that they think is the "best".

At the end of the year the Gold, Silver, Bronze and encoragement award will be announced... Keep in mind though that this is ONLY for bragging rights, there are no awards exept for if we can mabye arrange some stickers or award print outs that you can hang on your wall. Shell??

The categories would be for example-

* SAU ACT Grand Champion (most votes in all categories)

* SAU ACT Runner up Grand Champion.

* Best allround R34 GTR.

* Best allround R34 GTT.

* Best allround R34 GT.

* Best allround R33 GTR.

* Best allround R33 GTST.

* Best allround R33 GTS (incl GTS4).

* Best allround R32 GTR.

* Best allround R32 GTST (inlc GTS4).

* Best allround R32 GTS.

* Best allround R31 GT (incl GTS-R, GTS-X and Passage).

* Best allround R31 (Aus domestic market).

* Best allround Non Skyline.

(the following are for Skyline and non Skyline entrants).

* Best Paint scheme.

* Best interior.

* Best Stereo system.

* Best body kit.

* Best choice of wheels.

* Most Bling.

* JDM award (most jap spec).

* Track star award (most track spec).

* Drift king (most drift spec).

* Straight line master award (quickest 1/4 mile ET) **

* Power king (most wheel Kw's) **

* Best budget car??

* Best write off??

** (These catergories may need to be judged as separate Models eg: R32 power king, R33 power king etc.)

As I said, this is just an idea, but hey its something that eveyone can be involved in and we have a whole year to prepare!

Lets have a vote on who would like this to happen for next year...

And Shell, how would we go about getting it set up??? Hehehe :ninja:

Can we have a "longest time off the road/replacing radiator" category so I can enter too? :)

Well, thats not really fair though is it Nick, cos you'd win that hands down. :ninja:

If anyine has an other catagories they would like, then speak up! I know Ive missed some...

We need to know how many people are interested so lets have a show of hands...

Vote - Yes or No

(P.s. If you say no - youre not cool) No pressure. :)

Come on Shell, how do we get this off the ground??

You may have some competition there,pal! :)

Great idea M;happy to lend a hand,judging and all that jazz if needs be...sounds excellent,either way! Can we maybe nominate other peoples' rides,too? I know who get's my 32,33 and 34 GT-R votes already! And I've got some good cars in mind for the Stage' and GTS-T classes,too...

OH YEAH! Stagea's! (Sorry Lesh)

I think that people could nominate, as long as they have the owners permission, but they would still need photo's and specs on the car, if the person who owned the car didnt want it to be "known" then it would be uncool for someone to just go posting up all the info on it.

But if we can arrange a nominations category then that would be cool too!

I'll take thats a yes from you then Jayce?

Yup!

Crappiest stock R33! I need to win something! XD
pffffft I've got that one hands down... stocker rims FTW! :)

Mick- sounds great and i'll do all i can... sorry havent got a brilliant idea to get it off the ground right now though, maybe after christmas we can think about it & how to do it properly..

We'd probably need a seperate thread for each category so I might have to set up a special section or something to keep it organised...

I can do some fancy certificates for sure!

Post Chrissy would be a good thing;this whole Xmas spirit thing sucks the life out of everything else that needs to be done! Bah,humbug!

Speaking of Xmas spirit;where'd I put the Xmas SPIRITS...

pffffft I've got that one hands down... stocker rims FTW!

Curse my aftermarket rims!

A new category then. Most totally awesome near stock silver/grey two tone R33 two door (Nothing like a monopoly!). I'm in! lol... I'll have to pull my finger out and get some money together. Hopefully by this time next year I'll have something worth entering in a few categories.

Awards are all wrong!!!

Best Dummy Spit

Best 'Oh ho, I forgot to tighten that bolt'

Best 'oops!'

Best defect

Best bourbon/bundy/beer regurg

Best 'gay' bit on your car

Best 'I didn't say that.....did I?

Best excuse for trying to get out of a defect/ticket/across the pits reject etc

Best pink shirt [sorry veilside]

Please feel free to add as you see fit.

Gee, thanks for remembering me Mick...

Don't worry about 'best stagea' category, i'll be the only entrant. i'll just get thrown in with the 'best non-skyline' and give it a nudge with the cefiro's, laurel's, cima's, silvia's, fairlady's, 350's, GTi-R's, Maxima's, Pulsars, X-trails, Navara's, Patrols, Micra's & Tiida's... oh and the old datsuns.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
